Top 6 Beachside Restaurants and Bars in Hong Kong

Mavericks (Lantau)

One of our favourite spots on Lantau is Mavericks, a Californian-inspired beachside bar, restaurant and board shack opened by famed chef Neil Tomes and designer Jay FC. Enjoy delicious comfort food (think meatballs, schnitzel and sausages all served three different ways) and if you’re there at the right time, it’s a gorgeous place to watch the sunset. It’s also the perfect place for surfers and skaters (Vans HK built a skateboard ramp for them) and is guaranteed to score some cool points if you looking for an alternative date spot.

The Beach House (South Lantau)

For a more luxurious beachside experience, stop by The Beach House in South Lantau. The décor is beautiful, the view is even better and the food is just the icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a touch of beach sophistication, this is your best bet – they hold all kinds of events here too, including weddings. We love the open-air, chilled out vibe and the un-interrupted views, as well as the tasty grilled goodies and fresh seafood!

Cococabana (Shek O)

If you’ve been craving Mediterranean food as much as we have, then this beachside restaurant is perfect for you. Known for it’s Mediterranean cuisine, inspired decor and spacious terrace, Cococabana is great for a fresh yet filling meal after a busy day at the beach. Located on the island, this is a even a great option for those of you who fancy venturing out of the city for an intimate dinner!

Ming Kee Seafood Restaurant (Po Toi Island)

If you’re the kind of person that craves seafood after a day at the beach, venture no further than Ming Kee Seafood Restaurant on Po Toi Island. We’ve heard the calamari is too die for –paired with a bottle of ice cold beer and you’ve got the best summer day anyone can really ask for! This is a great place to bring friends to escape the city if you’re looking for something cheap, cheerful by the sea.

Cabana (Repulse Bay)

For a little taste of heaven on Earth, we recommended splurging and spending the day (or the weekend) at Cabana in Repulse Bay. Relax and watch the waves from the comfy lounge chairs on the rooftop of The Pulse… sip on champagne before you take a dip in the Japanese hot baths, then party the night away. Cabana is the chicest beachside bar to hit up this summer!

Limewood (Repulse Bay)

If you’re looking for a place to sip on mojitos and enjoy the fresh summer air, you’ve got to check out Limewood in Repulse Bay. The open space and design lets the sunshine in and the easy, breezy tropical vibes are sure to make you feel like you’re miles away from the busy streets of Hong Kong. The food at Limewood combines Southeast Asian, Hawaiian and Caribbean flavours and they specialise in BBQ dishes, so you’re guaranteed to find something fresh and fabulous to sate your appetite (we’re big fans of the guacamole…).
